What we do--the miracle of wet-vacuum cleaning
If you inspect the grooves of even the cleanest-appearing phonodisc with a low power microscope, you will find chunks of dust trapped in the grooves. Each time the stylus hits a chunk, you hear a pop. And each time the stylus encounters that dust particle, it jumps, and puts a tiny dent in the vinyl. After repeated playings, even if you remove the dust particle, the stylus will continue to hit the dent, and produce a pop.

Even the best consumer record cleaning systems--cylindrical brushes and anti-static cleaning fluid--will remove dust on top of the groove surface, but will actually force smaller particles down into the grooves. The only way to remove those particles is literally to vacuum them out.

We use a cleaning fluid specifically designed for professional phonodisc vacuum cleaning machines. We brush it on the surface of the record, let it soak a few minutes, loosen the particles with a very fine bristle brush, vacuum the fluid off, rinse with distilled water, and vacuum again. We then put the disc immediately on a professional direct-drive turntable for digitizing.

If the record still plays with pops and groove noise, we can use dedicated software to reduce the unwanted sound, and we can even fix a skipping record so that the skip is almost undetectable.

We can then digitally separate the phonodisc tracks so that they become discrete titled tracks on the CD, and burn the CD.

As a final touch, we scan the label on the phonodisc, and apply that to the CD so that your CD has the look of the original record.
